Why is calibration so hard?

Probably do to the ambient light or the florescent lights in your classroom

I was having a very hard time until I thoroughly cleaned my whiteboard. Even though it looked clean, apparently it had some sort of build-up on it. I wiped it down several times with a commercial whiteboard cleaner after having absolutely no luck. While never a "breeze," calibration became easier and faster after cleaning my board and never writing on it at all while using the Now Board.

I didn't find it hard at all. That said all of our Now Boards are mounted to the ceiling. If you have them on a table and the table gets bumped that will force you to recalibrate. There is another possibility. Check the resolution setting of your computer. Often times it is set way to high. In the materials there is a maximum setting for your computers resolution which is 1024X768 if you go higher than that calibration can be a chore.

In the User Manual, there are no instructions for calibrating this particular model (ME-5KG), so I'm fairly certain calibration is not available for this scale.

You can actually calibrate yourself. There are many sites available on line that tell you how to do it such as this one http://www.plasmatelevisions.org/article/plasma-television-tips/how-to-calibrate-your-plasma-tv.html

Interesting question. You might try the Taylor site. My past experience has been that the calibration isn't correct if it is replaced. My friend upgraded to this unit when his failed. I will probably follow suit. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EHNH3JC/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought this scale about a month ago. I also wanted to calibrate it. As I have background in electronics, I took the back over off to look for a way to adjust it. I could find no mechanical adjustment anywhere. There is soldered pin sticking out of the printed circuit board with the label "cal", which is almost certainly an electronic calibration connection. As there is no physical adjustment capability apparent, I suspect that adjustment is done electronically at the factory. Just my opinion.

it can not be calibrated. We are using it in medical office to weigh people in exam rooms rather than hallway scale.

At the bare minimum try getting a THX certified DVD (Cars, Finding Nemo, etc...) and using the THX Optimizer included on the disc. This will help some, but won't beat a professional calibration.

It's calibrated at the factory, although they recommend checking the calibration whenever it is moved to a new location. Very simple process that takes only a few seconds.

Sounds like it's defective. I never really calibrated mine, but it seems to work fine. Sorry! Send it back

I really want to say, "I don't know." There is no real way to calibrate the device except by using my carpenter's level, which seems to say it's ok. Let's put it this way, it's better than I usually do when in a crooked situation. When I have a nice horizon, then the camera grid works best of all.

Hi, I checked the manual it does not list calibration procedures. This is an inexpensive unit and when it goes bad it is time for a new one. I had their previous model for 5 years before it needed to be replaced. Good luck

Calibrating does, indeed, help, and it's really easy to do (just follow the on-screen instructions).Out of the box, my kit was about 20% off from reality (on a 10K run, it was only showing 8K traveled). I used the local high school track to calibrate the kit by doing a measured 400m lap around the track, and now I'm within 1.25% of accurate measurement which is good enough for me (it's still showing on the low side). This last weekend's 5 mile race shows up as 4.94 miles on nikeplus.com, but that's good enough for me. Hope this helps you.

I found nothing in the instructions on how to calibrate. We just installed ours and so far it's accurate. Time will tell.

I have not yet encountered this problem. I would think re-calibration would have to be done by service technician people. I do not find any measurement "0 in" feature in on my unit, such as what my digital micrometer has. To be accurate, a definate test fixture would need to be used for calibration.

Possibly, depending on how off your colors are. Remember that sometimes calibration results in a reduction of the brightness of a screen or a projected image. This may detract from the viewing experience.

There is no calibration to this scale. It does have a ZERO or TARE setting so you can adjust for containers. Hope this helps

Sir, check in the manual if the machine has calibration features. Check for the cables and accessories as well..
